Hanging with After Edmund!

This past summer at Cornerstone '07, I was hanging with one of the radio promoters one evening and we were making plans to go to the Main Stage. The Main Stage is in the this valley, a bit of a journey from the campgrounds of the festival, so up the ridge is where all the golf carts park to watch the show from the back. Up on the hill, I was introduced to After Edmund and we had just started playing the single "Thank God" on Power FM. After Edmund is a band that is label mates with DecembeRadio, a band we love here at Power FM for their amazing sound and lyrics. So, I was talking to Mitch, the singer of After Edmund, and during our conversation he kind of awkwardly asked me for my cell phone number. I gave it to him and told him to call me if they were going to be coming through Texas.

So fast forward a few months and one morning sitting in my crib, my cell rings with an odd number and its Mitch saying, "Hey, Man! How's it going?" So, we talked for an hour about the music and ministry. When the band was in town for Shoutfest '07 in Sherman, I tried to catch up with them for some dinner or something, but they were crazy busy and had to bolt the next day for the next Shoutfest in Waco. Finally, got to catch them last night on the way to Houston, they came by the station towards the end of my show for a little on-air interview and hang time. They were really fun and it was great to hear about where the songs we play on Power FM actually came from.

After the interview I wrapped up my show and we all went to grab a bite to eat together at Chili's near the station, talk more shop and just kick back and have some fun. I can't say enough good and positive things about the members of After Edmund and what they carry through their lives as the Biblical Truth. I am honored to call them friends and look forward to the next time they play in the North Texas area. The record drops on Tuesday, February 26th and I want to show more love and support and I am going to go to the record store and buy one, just to be as cool to them as they have been to me. Let me assure you this band is for REAL, both musically and ministry wise. They are songsmiths and set performance at a new level, I look forward to see what 2008 has for them.

Keep it Loud for the Lord my Power FM peeps, and see you Saturday, January 26th at the Benefit Show!

Mad Respects,
-Drue Mitchell-

Crazy guys!


Even Adrian got in on the action!
